Decaffeinated Green Coffee Bean Extract

Mon, 30 Apr 2012 21:59:14 +0100

Simply Trim is a weight loss aid that contains two of the most exciting weight loss ingredients on the market today, Svetol® and FraxiPure®. Simply Trim is ideal for anyone who would like to accelerate weight loss results and can be taken until their goal is reached. It is stimulant free so it will not cause jitters, anxiety, racing heart rate or nausea.

Svetol® is a decaffeinated green coffee bean extract rich in a health-promoting antioxidant called chlorogenic acid. It is one of the few weight loss products backed by scientific research. Simply Trim also contains FraxiPure®, European Ash Seed Extract. Studies show that taking FraxiPure®, even while eating a high fat, high calorie diet helps to lessen weight gain.

Both Svetol® and FraxiPure®, alter the way your body uses the sugar ingested from food. When we eat, our body converts digestible carbohydrates into blood sugar (glucose), our main source of energy. The ingredients in Simply Trim, inhibit both the absorption of excess sugar by the kidneys and intestine as well as the production of sugar by the liver. This in turn lowers blood sugar concentration and insulin output. By maintaining healthy blood sugar levels, the body will look to the fat stored in our adipose tissues for energy and that leads to weight loss. Research also shows that Svetol® will reduce the size of fat cells within our adipose tissue. This positively changes body composition and metabolism by increasing the muscle-to-fat ratio.

A double blind clinical study of 50 subjects showed the following: After 8 weeks of consuming either 400 mg of Svetol® or a placebo with no change to diet and exercise habits, the Svetol® group showed a reduction of body weight of 5.7% or an average weight loss of 11 lbs. This is twice as much as the placebo group. Perhaps even more exciting is that the Svetol® group showed an increase in lean to fat mass ratio of 4%. Lean body mass is what determines your basal metabolic rate, so an increase in lean muscle mass corresponds to an increase in metabolism. SIMPLY TRIM delivers 400 mg of Svetol®, the therapeutic dosage.

Directions for Use

Take 1 capsule of Simply Trim with both your morning meal and evening meal.

Please Note: It is important to drink at least 8-10 glasses of water while using Simply Trim, as water helps to keep the body hydrated. Eating a well-balanced diet rich in fibre and protein is also an essential part of healthy weight loss.

Warnings

Do not use if pregnant, nursing, or after recent surgery. Consult your physician prior to use if you have diabetes or hypoglycemia. Keep out of reach of children.

1) What the Eye Reveals

Iridology is the science and practice of detecting the condition of the human body through the analysis of the iris – the coloured part of the eyes. With this information, weakness can be detected and corrected before physical symptoms develop. Also the underlying cause for ailments can be found and treated. Every organ of the body is connected to the iris via the nervous system. We are discovering that the eye works in two ways: not only does it enable us to bring images of the outside world within; it also shows images of what is within to the outside. An iridologist may suggest herbal remedies, nutritional counselling and other health modalities in order to support and strengthen organs back to a better state of health.

Sclerology is the science art of observing the markings and colorings in the whites of the eyes as signs of compromised health. These markings constitute images of pathological conditions that are clinically treatable. Pathology means the study of morbid or life – negative structural and functional changes in the body and mind. “Clinically treatable” means a sickness or other such health situation that is beyond a person’s ability to deal with it effectively. It refers to degenerative processes of varying degrees of difficulty or severity.

Rayid (Personality Eyology) is the science of seeing one’s personality in one’s eyes – An important goal of this study is to help us harmonize with natural laws thus allowing us to see beyond the personality to the true self. In this process we learn to engage all parts of the personality in a synergistic balance, sometimes at will, otherwise naturally and without thinking, always as necessary and appropriate beyond both genetic and developed patterns.

2) What is Reflexology?

“Reflexology is a natural healing art based on the principle that there are reflexes in the feet, hands, and ears and their referral areas within zone related areas, which correspond to every part, gland and organ of the body. Through application of pressure on these reflexes without the use of tools, creams, or lotions, the feet being the primary area of application, reflexology relieves tension, improves circulation, and helps promote the natural function of related areas of the body,” Reflexology Association of Canada.

3) What is Reiki?

Reiki is a natural life giving energy that aids the body’s natural ability to heal itself. It helps reduce stress and pain, improves eating and sleeping, lifts depression and reduces anxiety; healing body, mind and spirit. The practitioners use gentle hand placement over the patient’s clothing for deeply soothing and relaxing treatment. Reiki is an energy of change and making changes in our lives takes energy. It helps us to develop a sense of body, mind and spirit connection, enabling us to make simple changes in our lifestyle, reducing stress and creating a sense of well being.

4) What is Herbal Medicine?

The treatment of illness or bodily dysfunction through the use of a combined approach of lifestyle changes, dietary changes and plant medicines. The aim is to effect a lasting change by identifying factors which may contribute to the problem and modify and address these through combinations of the above. Plant medicines gently stimulate the healing process of the body (immune system, hormonal system). Herbal Medicine plays a fundamental role in attaining and improving the state of health.

Flower Essence Emotional Alchemy

Flower Essences are the vibrational imprint of the flower charged by the energy of the sun.

Each flower essence is made with pure, clean spring water from the Storm Mountains.

A “Mother” refers to the first level of flower essence.

1. Flower essence can be used by humans and animals or plants. For animals put the flower essence directly on their food or in their water.

2. Use as a room spray bottle and spray in the room that needs attention.

3. In a bath use 20 drops in a figure 8 motion.

4. The healing properties of flower essences are primarily with issues concerning emotions.

“Everything is energy and beyond that is Supreme Intelligence.”

~ Albert Einstein

The interest in the use of herbs and herbal remedies is very much on the rise in this modern age of environmental concerns and escalating health care costs. Herbal Therapies can contribute greatly to the restoration of health and effective preventative health care. We are beginning to tap the vast nutritional and healing power of plants, improving man’s ability to treat and prevent disease.

Naturally Lower Blood Pressure

Sun, 26 Feb 2012 16:04:08 +0100

Fish Peptides
High blood pressure directly kills over 50,000 people in the United States each year and contributes to another 200,000+ deaths. Obviously it is a huge problem. Compounding the matter is that the various drugs used to treat high blood pressure often make patients feel worse because of side effects. Fortunately, there is an amazing new natural approach that is both safe and effective in helping to lower blood pressure, PeptACE peptides.

This natural supplement is composed of a purified mixture of nine small peptides (proteins) derived from muscle of the fish bonito (a member of the tuna family) free from heavy metals, pesticides, and other contaminants. This product lowers blood pressure by inhibiting an enzyme known as ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme). This enzyme causes a reaction that increases both the volume of blood flowing through arteries and the degree of constriction of the blood vessels — like pinching off a garden hose while turning up the flow of water full blast! By inhibiting the action of this enzyme, PeptACE helps relax arterial walls and reduce fluid volume, effectively lowering blood pressure.

High blood pressure should not be taken lightly. By keeping your blood pressure in the normal range, you can not only improve the length of your life, but also the quality of your life.

Ingredients

Each capsule contains:
PeptACE^® fish (bonito) protein extract (85% peptides)............500 mg

Recommended Adult Dose

3 capsules per day or as directed by a health care practitioner. Keep out of the reach of children.

Contraindications

None known.
PeptACE can be used in conjunction with medication.
If appropriate, after two weeks of use your health care practitioner can reduce the dosage of your medication based upon stabilization of blood pressure in the normal range.

Additional Information

Children: There seems to be no appropriate use for PeptACE in children at this time.

Pregnancy and Nursing: Although very safe, PeptACE has not been sufficiently evaluated in pregnancy so should not be used during this time or only under the advice of a health care practitioner.

Seniors: No special precautions known.

Raspberry ketone can help the efficiency of the metabolism by increasing the body’s core temperature and in so doing increasing the body’s fat burning abilities

Elderberry - Immune Support

Wed, 11 Jan 2012 22:52:47 +0100

What is Elderberry?
Elder was used as a food in ancient times but it also has an extensive history of medicinal usage. Extracts of elder berries have been shown to inhibit the replication of the influenza virus, making it a suitable herb for the treatment and prevention of the common cold and flu. Elderberries also contain large amounts of flavinoids, which act as antioxidants.
Free radicals are unstable molecules that in their bid to become more stable must bump into healthy cells and cause damage. Elderberries antioxidant properties neutralize free radicals and therefore reduce damage to tissues all over the body, including those that are infected. Elder flowers act as a diuretic and diaphoretic, aiding the body in the release of excess fluid through the kidneys and the skin (via the sweat). Elderflower tea can be used as a wash over skin irritations. Elder is recommended by natural health practitioners for a variety of conditions including prevention of colds and flus, treatment of infections, skin infections, wound cleansing, water retention and fevers.

Elderberries can be purchased as a dried berries, encapsulated berries, liquid extract or tincture. In general liquid preparations of elderberry are stronger than dried preparations. Elderberries are found in formulas for colds and flus. Elderflowers can be purchased as lose herb, encapsulated herb or tincture. They are found in formulas for water retention and kidney cleansing. By purchasing standardized elder supplements one can be sure that there are some berries and/or flowers in the formula.

Lower Cholesterol in 30 Days

Wed, 11 Jan 2012 18:51:10 +0100

What can you expect from Sytrinol^®:

Reduces total cholesterol levels
Lowers LDL (bad) cholesterol
Reduces triglycerides
Promotes HDL (good) cholesterol
An ideal antioxidant formula
Promotes improved cardiovascular health
Measurable effects in 30 days

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in Canada. One of the biggest risk factors is high cholesterol. Studies have shown that Sytrinol is able to lower your total cholesterol, bad cholesterol (LDL), and triglycerides in 30 days. Sytrinol has also been shown to increase good cholesterol (HDL) levels.

Sytrinol is a powerful antioxidant with numerous heart health benefits including the reduction of arterial plaque, improved glycemic control and reduced blood platelet aggregation. Sytrinol is a patented formula derived from natural citrus and palm fruit extracts. It combines polymethoxylated flavones (PMFs), delta, gamma, and alpha tocotrienols.

Clinical trials have shown that Sytrinol acts synergistically to improve total cholesterol by 30%, lower LDL cholesterol by 27%, and reduce triglycerides by 34% (compared to a placebo). Sytrinol has also been shown to increase HDL levels.

To date three major studies have been carried out to investigate Sytrinols effects on cholesterol levels.

The first study involved 60 participants with raised cholesterol levels. After taking 300mg of Sytrinol each day for four weeks, the researchers found that the treatment lowered total cholesterol by 25%, the bad LDL cholesterol by 19%, and triglycerides by 24%.

In the second, smaller study 10 subjects with elevated cholesterol levels benefited after four weeks of treatment with 300mg of Sytrinol per day. Sytrinol therapy lowered total cholesterol levels by 20%, LDL cholesterol by 22%, apolipoprotein B (a component of LDL) by 21%, and triglycerides by 28%. Additionally, subjects in this trial benefited from a significant 5% increase in apolipoprotein A1 an important structural protein of the good HDL cholesterol.

A third clinical trial involved 120 patients with moderately elevated cholesterol levels. Compared to the placebo group, subjects taking Sytrinol had a decrease of 30% in total cholesterol, 27% in LDL cholesterol, and 34% in triglycerides. In addition, HDL levels increased by 4 per cent, resulting in a significant 29% improvement in the LDL:HDL ratio

Oil of Oregano

Wed, 11 Jan 2012 18:31:06 +0100

North American Herb and Spice Wild Oil of Oregano
Studies conducted by Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., have shown that the wild, mountain-grown oregano used by North American Herb & Spice is an excellent anti-fungal agent, completely killing Candida albicans in concentrations as minimal as 0.25 mg/ml. It also is much safer to use than popular anti-fungal drugs on the market. These studies showed:

The destruction of Candida albicans in both test tubes and in animals without harm to the tissues
The destruction of Staph
The destruction of yeasts more effectively than common drugs

Oregano Oil is made only from wild, mountain-grown, Mediterranean oregano, guaranteed to be handpicked in the pristine, untarnished wilderness, free of all chemicals and pesticides. It is also emulsified in a carrier oil such as extra virgin olive oil. The oil is produced by old-fashioned cold pressing and steam distillation; no chemicals are used to extract it.

Many studies demonstrating the strong antioxidant, broad antimicrobial and even painkilling properties of oregano have been published in scientific journals. The Cure is in the Cupboard: How to Use Oregano for Better Health, by Dr. Cass Ingram, gives a complete, understandable resource on oregano.

True oregano grows only under specific soil and climate conditions and can not be reproduced in your own backyard, even if the same seeds are planted. It’s the perfect growing conditions found in the mountains of the Mediterranean that produce oregano with active, concentrated dosages. Thymol is the harmful substance abundant in many inferior grades of oregano oil, and our oil has less than 5% thymol. Carvacrol content is a good indicator of high quality oregano oil, and this product has over 64%. But carvacrol is not the only indicator of high quality oregano, as the plant produces over 50 known-to-date substances which work synergistically to provide its benefits.

Oil of Oregano from North American Herb & Spice, Co. is a superior product.

It is a wild spice and not farm-raised.
It is a proven edible species of oregano.
It is a high-carvacrol species.
It has been used in modern research at world-renowned institutions like Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.
It is extracted in a natural process.
It is free of all chemical/pesticide residues
It is relatively low in thymol, i.e. less than 5%

Note: to use oil of oregano internally the product must meet all seven of the above criteria.

Nutritional Facts:
Proprietary blend (2 drops) in extra virgin olive oil, 100mg
Wild Mediterranean Oregano Oil, P73

Suggested Use: Take a drop or two under the tongue or add a few drops in juice or water. Use on the skin or inhale the fumes. It is pungent and aromatic. Warm sensation when taken directly into the mouth is normal, as from garlic or cayenne pepper. Warmth dissipates rapidly.

Use only the blue label brand oregano by North American Herb & Spice Co; the only one extensively researched.
The carvacrol levels of Oreganol are also guaranteed at 62% or higher.

Oreganol P73 Has a Direct Killing Effect and Ability to Stop Replication of the Human Coronavirus In Vitro

Coronaviruses are so named because the organisms exhibit a halo-like appearance when viewed under the microscope. Coronaviruses are the second leading cause of colds and influenza, the first leading cause being attributed to rhinoviruses.

The coronavirus is associated with symptoms ranging from fever, headache, chills and sneezing to sore throat, cough and nasal discharge. The coronavirus can also cause pneumonia and other respiratory symptoms. The corona virus is linked to symptoms associated with SARS (Sever acute respiratory Syndrome). The organism believed to be responsible for the SARS outbreak (first discovered in November 2002) is a novel form of the coronavirus.

Recent In Vitro research conducted by Microbiotest, Inc. demonstrated that Oreganol P73 has a potent direct killing effect against the human coronavirus, as well as having the ability to halt virus replication in host cells infected with the human coronavirus.

Oreganol P73 had a direct killing effect on the coronovirus by reducing the viral count from 5,500,000 copies per ml to 150 copies of virus per ml, over a period of twenty minutes.

When virus infected host cells were mixed with Oreganol P73, the Oreganol P73 (0.1% solution) was also able to stop the replication of the human coronavirus in infected host cells (In Vitro).

In summary, this study demonstrated the ability of Oreganol P73 to not only directly kill the human coronavirus (In Vitro), but was able to halt human coronavirus replication in infected host cells (In Vitro).

Great For Travelers - Heat Stable Probiotic

Wed, 11 Jan 2012 18:35:41 +0100

What are Probiotics?

There are more than 100 kinds and 100 trillion bacteria living in a human intestine. Among those bacteria, there are beneficial, harmful, and neutral bacteria fighting against each other. Probiotics are the healthy bacteria that are essential for intestinal microbial balance.

Probiotics reside throughout our gastrointestinal system. They are essential to the health and vitality of our immune system, proper digestion and the manufacturing of various vitamins. Probiotics are needed for optimal health to occur. When the levels of these beneficial bacteria are low, the body becomes compromised and conditions like diarrhea, constipation, Candida yeast infections and other health issues—some of which are major—may occur.

Why do we need to take Probiotics?

The delicate balance of probiotics can be negatively affected by: the use of antibiotics; gastrointestinal infections; food poisoning and other intestinal disturbances, which leads to a reduction of good bacteria and results in numerous health issues. When the ratio of beneficial bacteria increases in the intestine, intestinal conditions such as poor digestion, inflammation, bloating and gas decrease substantially, however when levels of the harmful bacteria increase, it leads to harmful conditions such as constipation, diarrhea, decreased nutrient uptake and can even contribute to serious diseases. The balance of the intestinal microflora affects overall health so it is essential to keep a high ratio of the beneficial bacteria in the intestine at all times—especially the right kinds.

Detoxify and Say Goodbye to Toxins

Our environment is full of toxins, they are everywhere. Toxins are found in your food, the air, water, heavy metals, and other pollutants. Not many people are aware of it but toxins invade your body and accumulate in your system over time. This results in some chronic diseases.

Now if you live a healthy lifestyle, your body is full of nutrients needed for a healthy biochemistry, enabling your organs to function well. They effectively and safely eliminate unwanted substances and detoxify your body by cellular processes involving the liver, kidneys, lungs, bowels, and even the skin. Our body’s elimination processes include perspiration, respiration, urination, and bowel movement.

The problem starts when we take in more toxins than our body organs can safely eliminate. Chronic illnesses are mostly caused by toxins in the body or the lack of nutrients needed by the body to function well. Over time, the rate with which the body naturally detoxifies itself slows down and your organs will start to weaken.

To correct the imbalance between the amount of toxins and nutrients, the body needs to undergo regular cleansing at cellular level. The body will require the necessary dietary substances for it to be ready for the detoxification process.

A detoxification gives your body the chance to get rid of harmful substances safely. Various programs for detoxification have been designed to help the body better deal with toxins as it is not really possible to eliminate them completely. Undergoing detox helps prevent the occurrence of chronic illnesses because it “refreshes” almost all body systems, including the nervous, immune, respiratory, urinary, digestive, reproductive, muscular, skeletal, skin, and endocrine.

Individuals experiencing the following conditions are recommended to undergo detoxification:

• Chronic digestive problems
• Impaired liver functions brought about by poor eating habits, alcohol consumption, high stress levels, hepatitis, and chemical exposure in the workplace
• Chronic skin conditions
• Painful muscles and joints
• Susceptibility to allergies and infections
• Respiratory problems
• Fatigue and exhaustion
• Depression
• Insomnia and sleeping problems
